And, yes, there are plenty of workarounds for the dreaded swastika flag, ranging from having the flag folded to just turning the swastika into a cross or leaving the central white roundel of the the Nazi flag blank.
I hadn't thought of that... interesting! Yes many flags have changed so historically accurate would be key IMHO. I was just looking up what the Canadian flag looked like at the time. Very different than the maple leaf that we have now.
